I'd measure the diameter of the spare tire. Looks a fair amount smaller than the regular tire. That has the potential to cause problems.

I think you wasted your money!

if the diameter difference is too big, you'll burn your diff right?

Your traction control will freak out seeing the tire spinning significantly faster than the rest.

I just did and both is identical in diameter!!

Optical illusion? From your photo (post #2) showing both *outside" faces it appears that the one on the left (the Maz) is significantly smaller in diameter than the one on the right. Maybe it's a question of depth perception or the angle of your camera in relation to the tires? I guess the proof would be in the tire sizes. What are the sizes? I'd assume the Tesla is 234/45R18 but how about the Maserati?

Of its same diameter and doesn't hit the calipers, you're good to go.

Looks like 175/55/18 is the tire size.

Now I think I want to get 4 of them and see what max efficiency might look like. Shortly there after, I'll put track mode on, stability control off and see how wicked of a drift I can get.

There's definitely distortion from the camera going on, just by looking at the floor.

See, it's actually bigger!

Here's the size differences...

do those just collapse when you let out air or do you have to vacuum out air?

Here's the size differences...

less than 3% i guess not too bad. i wonder how many miles the spare is rated for.

That's actually a cool tool. Not that I need it often, but makes sense.

Based on what? Everyone's needs and risk willingness are different, so don't begrudge what someone else wants to do. You post added nothing to this thread.
